Connollys Irish Bar

Head down Bell Street and you'll find yourself in a proper Irish pub that actually feels lived-in rather than designed. The kind of place where regulars camp at the bar nursing Guinness, conversation bounces off dark wood panelling, and nobody's worried about Instagram angles. You'll get a decent pint, solid Irish whiskey selection, and food that doesn't apologise for being straightforward—think bangers and mash, fish and chips, proper comfort stuff. It's the sort of spot you stumble into expecting chaos and instead find yourself three hours later, still there, because the craic's genuinely good.
